My first ever published paper. "Time Loss
Through Gating of Asynchronous Logic Signal Pulses." This intentionally
misleading title got it past the journal referees. It is a first. Nobody else
succeeded in getting past the referees until many years later. The subject
was and remains taboo. It is the Synchroniser, or Arbiter, problem. I call it
"The Glitch". p1 , p2 , p3 , p4

J Kinniment“They did
not believe a problem existed, and if it did, they didn’t want to know.
Nevertheless, he wrote a short note about it and got it published in an IEEE journal
in 1966. The note is written rather obscurely, and has errors in it, but the
drift is clear, there’s a problem.” Also see Tom
